Abstract
An optical module includes a housing, an actuator and a fiber clamp having at least one spring member. The actuator and housing are moveable in a sliding manner relative to one another such that the actuator can assume a first actuator position or a second actuator position relative to the housing. The spring member has a first portion in sliding contact with a ramped surface of the actuator and a second portion movable between a first clamp position and a second clamp position in response to sliding movement of the actuator between the first actuator position and second actuator position, respectively. Movement of the second portion of the spring member to the second clamp position reduces a dimension of a fiber passage in the module to frictionally engage an optical fiber in the fiber passage.
